rising apnea,

Post by toekneeg » Mon Dec 21, 2015 5:34 pm

Hi, Folks

I have a weird problem. I`ve been on cpap for about 3months, my results have been okay most nights. The Ahi was between 2- to 2.5,
but I started to get leak problems from my pillow, also dry mouth. I decided to buy a ruby chinstrap, It works fine, zero leakage, but I noticed that my AHI, started to go up every night , from 1 a week ago to 5 last couple of nights.Can`t figure it out. Any Suggestions, thanks in advance.

Hi, well a chinstrap can't keep your lips closed...

Can you use Sleepyhead to see what else might be going on?

This is kind of insignificant, but, you have the wrong machine listed in your profile...you have the Airsense 10 Elite
